I can't BELIEVE that they remade Boys in the Band for Netflix...I can't watch this stuff.
It is so anti-gay...
With a line like "Same old tired fairies you've seen around Since Day 1" it feels like you are watching a meeting of the Medford School Committee...and if that isn't downer enough for you...
...or "Mary, take me home, these queens are crazy" - it is the reason why great looking homosexual men marry women and hide in the closet. Films like that. Awful.
Legendary Lieber and Stoller wrote a song "The Boys in the Band" which everyone thought was affiliated with the homo movie but it says on YouTube it was actually from the film The Phynx (1970) https://youtu.be/6QlvyzhZiQQ (duh, it says it right on the 45 rpm)
Good song...reminds me of the group The Chairman of the Board...
but this group is called "the Boys in the Band" just like the title of the song. Chairman of the Board were around the same time...
Mike at Flashback Favorites explains it...
Chairman of the Board have the dynamic "Gimme Just a Little More Time" but I'm not talking about that song; I'm talking about their theme song, "Chairman of the Board" by Chairman of the Board sounding sonically like "The Boys in the Band" it might be on this album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYJeoFe1t3M
Here it is "Chairman of the Board" by Chairman of the Board
vs
"The Boys in the Band" by The Boys in the Band
Stephanie: "I like him better when he talks music and movies"
Breanna : "It is what it is"
Mike: "tell Nell NOT to publish him anymore in the Transcript"
JV: unlike you three, I know what I'm doing
Great extended mix, Give Me Just a Little More Time
"Life's too short/to make a mistake"
Wish the city council and school committee of Medford would take magic words like that to heart...
4:52 another extended mix, this is fantastic...https://youtu.be/t8foVU3rQRE
Snappy "Sunshine Pop," which I think is my favorite genre.
Uptempo, happy, makes you smile all day long.

JV Responds: Brokeback Mountain could have been great. Slicing and dicing Jake Gyllenhall with a tire iron is too much of a downer because in the 1950s and 1960s it was required to have the self-loathing homosexual murder someone, or a film like The Boys in the Band having you leave the theater thinking "Who would want to be homosexual?"
Even Midnight Cowboy reflected the times.
Once the human conditioned synthetic robots realize that we are all needed to find solutions to problems ...like asteroids, Covid 19 and the Republican Party, the earth can bloom and shine again...like the days before the aliens planted humankind here
Don C writes: Own the libs and piss the mainstream media off. That's all it is with Trump supporters anymore. When was the last time that you saw something - anything - of a positive nature about Trump himself in media that aren't Fox News, OAN, or whatever else tthat leans right? That doesn't happen much if at all anymore. Most of today's conservative commentary that I see here, WaPo, or the NYT goes to someone or something else that Trumpezoids don't like.
JV Responds: Trump has a formula, it's all about him, and there are crazies out there he wants to vote for him. Trump knows he is hated, he knows his best argument is to get the lunatics out in droves. Sensible people need to vote and stop the plague that is Trumpism His followers are deranged, "Trump Derangement Syndrome" which they have full blown, yet they will point the finger at you and tell you that you are suffering from TDS when you are the solution.
